The former WBC heavyweight champion of the world Deontay Wilder returned to boxing earlier this year in 2025.
He had a successful comeback in the summer with a knockout win on a small hall show.
Still showing he has the power and he had a last minute change of trainer the week of the fight as well.
He’s now 40 and high level professional boxers are now all fighting into their 40s with the advent of sports science and so on.

Wilder however has now claimed he will fight until at least 50 years of age.
Some statistic.
That said, Anderson Silva at 50 at the weekend the former UFC middleweight champion showed at 50 he can still fight in pro boxing near a high level.
Wilder is linked with a fight against Usyk even next year but there are other names possible for him as well.
